- Risk & Coexistence Design: Define migration waves, technical designs, and coexistence models to ensure zero business disruption and continuous security coverage during the transition.
- Architecture & Governance: Develop security architecture documents, migration runbooks, control mapping, and risk registers aligned with Zero Trust principles. Guide the integration of Google security telemetry, detection content, and workflows into SecOps processes (alerting, playbooks, and response).
8+ years of dedicated experience in cybersecurity consulting, security architecture, or large-scale security transformation programs.
- Mandatory Expertise (Google Security): Deep, expert-level knowledge of Google security technologies, including Google Cloud security architecture, Google SecOps, Mandiant capabilities, Workspace security, Chrome Enterprise, and IAM.
